Gen. Charles Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown in 1786 bringing the American Revolution to an end. Gen. Cornwallis sent his second in command, Charles O'Hara, who attempted to deliver Cornwallis's sword to French general, Comte de Rochambeau. But Rochambeau directed O'Hara to American General George Washington, who coolly steered the British officer to Washington's own second in command, Major General Benjamin Lincoln.
